The Cat

Oh my, I read this and burst out laughing, and then laughed so hard I was in tears, as I read it to my hubby! It probably isn't nearly as funny as I think it is, but we enjoyed it, so maybe you will too!

A couple was dressed and ready to go out for the evening. They turned on a night light, turned the answering machine on the phone line, covered their pet parakeet and put the cat in the backyard. They phoned the local cab company and requested a taxi. The taxi arrived and the couple opened the front door to leave their house.

The cat they had put out into the yard scoots back into the house.

They don't want the cat shut in the house because she always tries to eat the bird. The wife goes out to the taxi while the husband goes inside to get the cat. The cat runs upstairs, the man in hot pursuit.

Waiting in the cab, the wife doesn't want the driver to know the house will be empty for the night. She explains to the taxi driver that her husband will be out soon "He's just going upstairs to say good-bye to my mother." A few minutes later, the husband gets into the cab.

"Sorry I took so long," he says, as they drive away. "Stupid thing was hiding under the bed." Had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She tried to take off so I grabbed her by the neck. Then I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from scratching me. But it worked. I hauled her fat ass downstairs and threw her out into the back yard!"

from Spurgeon... Oh, my brothers and sisters in Christ, if sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies; and if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay, and not madly to destroy themselves. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for.

There are no degrees of honesty.

The value of friends: “Such is friendship, that through it we love places and seasons; for as . . . flowers drop their sweet leaves on the ground around them, so friends impart favor even to the places where they dwell. With friends even poverty is pleasant. . . . It would be better for us that the sun were exhausted than that we should be without friends.”

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."- Jim Elliot, martyred missionary

Buy land. They've stopped making it.

Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy.

- Robert Heinlein

When the Nazis came for the communists,I remained silent;I was not a communist.Then they locked up the social democrats,I remained silent;I was not a social democrat.Then they came for the trade unionists,I did not protest;I was not a trade unionist.Then they came for the Jews,I did not speak out;I was not a Jew.When they came for me,there was no one left to speak out for me.

Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)
